King Faisal hospital has ceased to be a government institution and is now an autonomous organisation.
These changes have come with a name change and now becomes King Faisal Hospital Rwanda.
Prime Minister Dr. Pierre Damien said these changes are a breath of fresh air for the hospital in terms of patient centred care and service delivery.
The Premier officially inaugurated King Faisal Hospital Rwanda yesterday.
The prime minister said the government will continue to offer a subsidy to the hospital but with an overall objective of one day becoming fully independent.
Dr. Habumuremyi addressing the hospital’s staff said the turn around will ensure that it offers high quality medical services to Rwandans and the region.
“Being exemplary in this region and beyond is the desire of the president that he asked us as ministers to communicate to you.
Second, we do not wish to see Rwandans rushing outside the country to seek medical care, women who want to deliver go to hospitals outside the country, we want to maximise the services and treat as many diseases as possible.
This is possible. We will provide whatever you need, you deserve better salaries, ” the premier noted.
The minister of labor and public service Anastase Murekezi explained that the new changes comes with streamlining the staff where the new body will require 600 employees as opposed to the previous 604.
Out of the existing staff 490 proved to be qualified. 110 more will be recruited.
